[edit] Robot?

Hi Simon. If you're using a robot you should probably look at Wikipedia:Bots. Rgds Rich Farmbrough 23:28, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I'm not a Robot :P Simon Arlott 07:58, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

You are not a Robot bur you sure are acting like one :-) Now why did you change all references to British and British Empire to United Kingdom? There are differences in usage of those terms, why else do you think there are separate articles? Give me a good reason, or else please undo your changes. Enjoy your time. --Ankur 18:11, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

There are a lot of articles linked to British, which is why I'm doing a lot of edits. I've not changed anything linking to British Empire afaik, and I'm linking British to the correct article where relevant according to the information on British. --Simon Arlott 18:14, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

How can you work that fast? Are you sure you are not a bot :-). On a MUCH serious note. I just saw your edits. Some of them are incorrect!!! You are probably operating a bot or you don't know much of history. Some of your edits have already been reverted. Now please stop this. Your edits are not based on context. They are plain wrong. --Ankur 18:22, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Here are examples of your incorrect edits. One misslink created by your bot (or you) from

British Empire to United kingdom http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=India&curid=14533&diff=0&oldid=0 another on (reverted) from Boer War to United Kingdom http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Concentration_camp&diff=5882458&oldid=5881711

I don't know what happened on India, on Concentration camp that must have been a misplaced paste of "United Kingdom|". Please stop accusing me of being a bot. Where else have I made incorrect links or are you basing your request that I stop completely on a very small number of mistakes? --Simon Arlott 18:54, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)


Whoa!! small number of mistakes? I did not look at more than 5-6 of your edits before I found 2 mistakes. That is a ratio of 1:3. One mistake every three edits. Or maybe, I was lucky?!! Yea you are not a bot. But you are fast :-) --Ankur 19:11, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I think you were just lucky, most of the edits I'm making are to change [[British]] to [[United Kingdom|British]] for articles about or referring to people which is hard to get wrong. --Simon Arlott 12:02, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)
